A short story about a cow with a healthy appetite. Any comments good or bad always appreciated. 
It was a beautiful sunny day, and standing all alone in the middle of a large and grassy field was a friendly cow whose name was Cara. “Grass is so very nice to eat,” Cara thought, “but I’d like to eat something different today.” So she walked over to the far side of the field, and when she thought no-one was looking she jumped over the fence and landed in Farmer Fred’s fruit and vegetable patch. Cara saw some small green plants covered in fat and juicy red strawberries. She raced over there and started to eat them. “Mooo," said Cara. "These strawberries are delicious." It wasn’t long before all the strawberries were gone! Next she saw a row of leaves sticking out of the mud. So off she went again. Cara tugged at the leaves and out popped an orange but muddy carrot. “Mooo," said Cara. These carrots are yummy." It wasn’t long before the row of carrots were gone! Cara then saw a shimmering greenhouse. So off she went again. Inside she found a plant covered in yellow peppers. “Mooo," said Cara. These peppers are lovely." It wasn’t long before all the peppers were gone! Next she saw a bush full of pretty pink roses. So off she went again. “Mooo," said Cara. "These roses are tasty." It wasn’t long before all the roses were gone! Cara then saw a row of green cabbages. “Mooo," said Cara. "These cabbages are scrumptious." It wasn’t long before the row of cabbages were gone! Next she saw an old tree that was covered in purple plums. “Mooo," said Cara. "These plums are gorgeous." It wasn’t long before all the plums were gone! Cara’s tummy started to ache; she really had eaten too much. So she jumped back over the fence into her field, and as she lay down to have a rest she opened her mouth and let out an almighty “BURRRRRRRRRP!” Later that day Farmer Fred brought Cara in to be milked. “Well, I never!” he said in amazement. “I’ve never tasted milk like this before!” And you probably haven’t either, because it tasted of strawberries, carrots, peppers, roses, cabbages and plums! Disgusting! Do you think Farmer Fred poured this milk on his cereal? I don’t think so! Would you pour it on your cereal?
